Based on an Italian design, the MDC Sport Line brings to the market a combination of features not currently available from any one stirrup manufacturer.

MDC Sport Stirrups offer the look and strength of stainless steel, blended with the lightness of polished aluminum. The bright metal finish maintains an elegant and traditional look in the show ring.

MDC strongly believes that stirrups that adjust to your body are better stirrups, and MDC Sport Line features three preset stirrup positions: traditional, 45 degrees or 90 degrees. This allows you to position the stirrup according to your personal preference, resulting in reduced stress on your ankles, knees, hips and back.

• 45 degrees - Once the rider presets the stirrups at 45 degrees, instantly they notice that the leather is applying 1/2 the pressure across their shin as a normal stirrup. This reduction in leather pressure reduces leg burns, but still gives the rider who relies on this pressure the feeling that they desire. Should the rider lose their iron, the MDC Intelligent Stirrups® will tend to leave a clear opening making the stirrup easily retrievable. This increase in stirrup retrieval puts the rider back in control and allows them to proceed and compete at their highest possible efficiency. 45 Degrees seems to be the preferable preset angle for Show Jumpers and Event Riders.
  
• 90 degrees - Presetting the irons at 90 degrees results in no leather pressure across the shin and leaves the iron completely open for retrieval. At 90 degrees, the MDC Intelligent Stirrups® are preforming at their maximum level: no leather burns, maximum retrieval and the greatest safety, as the stirrup tends to remain open allowing the dislodged rider to clear the stirrup safely and easily. 90 Degrees seems to be the preferable preset for Dressage, Endurance and Trail Riders as well as general flat riding applications.
  
• Traditional Angle - Of course, the MDC Intelligent Stirrups® can be set at the traditional angle. This allows you to easily run up your irons.
• Details - The MDC Intelligent Stirrups® will perform at their best when partnered with a new pair of leathers. Old leathers have a slight turn to them and this will affect the accuracy of the 45 degree and 90 degree settings. As there are moving parts associated with the MDC Intelligent Stirrups®, it is important to inspect your stirrups regularly. Keep them clean and free from debris. WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE

The MDC Super Sport offers a world-class flexible hinge - a feature rarely found on wide base stirrups. They feature a wide base, non-slip aluminum pad, which provide a secure grip, but are less aggressive than “cheese grater” pads, which can cut boots, breeches, saddle leather and do not easily release in the event of a fall. A traditional width non-slip aluminum pad is available and may be purchased separately. MDC Sport Stirrups are the only stirrups on the market that offer interchangeable widths.

A solid base is available on the MDC Sport Classic Stirrup.

Available in 4.75". Non-slip aluminum pad is 2 1/2" from toe to heel.
